[status] Repositioned yesterday within Havannah Harbour as we were concerned about wrapping our anchor chain around some coral heads. Listening to the daily Gulf Harbour Radio weather schedule as I type. Still seems to be very strange and unpleasant weather with strong tropical depressions popping up. The current one has all the hallmarks of another potential cyclone but forecasters are assessing the chances of a cyclone as low.

We attended Vanuatu Independence celebrations yesterday at the local village. Lots of dancing with food stalls and a 'swim for the pig' competition. Jay stripped down and had a good go at swimming for the pig but got beaten by some experienced locals. After being dropped out of the canoe 300m offshore the pig was supposed to swim back to shore. He had other ideas and went out making good speed with the current. Glad he Jay didn't win as the pig was the prize...
